NL ROY

[GiantsSuperCollector]

Yes I'm a homer but I just don't see how it's not Posey. He doesn't hit that many HR but I have yet to seem him look bad at the plate. Heyward swings at every curve ball in the dirt. Posey is a better defensive catcher than Heyward is an outfielder.

Plus Posey is catching an elite crop of pitchers, Heyward is chilling his ass out in the OF.

Yep. Hasn't Garcia been shut down for the year already? The Marlins are basically irrelevant outside of Florida so I don't see Stanton getting that many votes.

Yup, so it is between Heyward and Posey basically.

Posey IMO is the NL ROY hands down, since it based on production and not ceiling. If it were based on ceiling I would give it to Stanton

I'd rather have a catcher hitting 330 with a potential of 20HR in Pac Bell than an OF hitting 260-280 with 35 HR.

Of course you would.....you are a Giants fan.

Most people would, there are 3 outfielders and an abundance of good hitting ones, whereas there are few good hitting catchers with amazing defense!

So you are projecting Stanton to be a perrenial 35 HR a year hitter? I am thinking 50+ after next year. He is only 20 years old and just getting his feet wet. Posey has the better game right now...I say give Stanton a year.

I would much rather have the 35+ homerun hitter on the Red Sox this year, lol.

Not to mention the pontential runs created by Stanton if he does indeed live up to his ceiling. I just don't see Posey hitting .330 year in and year out...

based on ceiling - would go to Jason Heyward.

 

[ozzie's translator]

IMO it's a close race between Posey and Garcia. Garcia is clearly the best rookie pitcher and his numbers are great. Posey is the best rookie hitter and I give him the edge over Garcia. Especially if he's still flirting with a .350 BA.

I like Daniel Hudson as best rookie pitcher, but it is all Posey.

Honestly not being a homer here but have you actually seen Buster Posey hit? What about that swing makes you think he can't hit 330 a year? Is it the toll of playing catcher? His swing is almost exactly like Jeter's.
Disclaimer for the haters: No I'm not comparing Posey to Jeter. I'm just saying that his swing is eerily similar to Jeter's.

I really don't understand how Garcia isn't getting as much love though. Sub 3 era all year. That's almost Cy Young material.

He was shutdown a few weeks ago. Not a big enough sample size. He probably doesn't have enough innings to be eligible for the Cy Young.

He does. And he has 28 starts...the leader only has 33. So not a huge difference.

 

[hail2thevictors]

As a neutral fan, I say it's Posey pretty easily

he doesn't go deep into starts like 5-6ip

 

[AmishDave]

I say Gaby Sanchez

No one cares. Andrew Bailey won ROY as a closer last year pitching 1 inning.

If a pitcher gives up 0 runs all season long but only pitches 5-6 innings each game, does he not deserve the Cy Young with a 0.00 ERA in 175 innings pitched? Of course he does. Number of innings is completely irrelevant as long as the pitcher meets the required amount to qualify to lead the league in statistical categories.

Deep into the playoffs.....Posey showing his stuff to the people on East coast!!
